A list

1. I am having lots of family here today so don't have time for a long story but did want to let you know that the heat broke last night and we woke up to a gentle rain and sixty seven degrees!!! Whoopie and Alleluia!
2. Able and Zach are putting in the ceiling of my porch after a couple of years of no ceiling...the bare beam look that we all know and love.
3. I have been getting in lots of cuddling time with Zaner-Blosser (a comment which is only funny to Baby Boomers because that is the name of a special type of pen/pencil which we used to learn how to hold a pencil correctly).
4. One of my chickens has begun laying; I found my first pullet egg in the nests today. I guess she had been watching the three new, older hens that joined the club last week. I love these 'beginner eggs'! They are so cute and just the right size for little grand kids to carry to the house.
5. My native grasses, which I have all but given up on, are heading out and I am going to let them seed themselves back and see what comes up next year. Who knows.

No comments:

What I am trying to do here.

Stories of life lived on the mixed grass prairie in Northwest Oklahoma, the lessons gleaned from creation and news of family and friends. There may be poems, if you're lucky. Sometimes I can be a bit preachy, not always, but if I feel it necessary.
